'Exasperation among the fans might turn to worry'

This was a truly dire game that really reflected the apathy around West Ham at the moment.

The first half felt like an example of what many have been saying about the Hammers' lack of identity under Julen Lopetegui, who also appeared to struggle to get his messages across to the players in-game from the dugout, as he frantically called for more urgency.

While there was an improvement in that aspect after the break, I do not think it was the kind of performance that will quell the whispers about his position being in a fair amount of peril.

Based on Saturday's struggles at home to an Everton not exactly cooking on gas themselves, the exasperation among the fans might turn to worry with games against Newcastle and Arsenal coming next.
